The 2017 Bathurst 1000 kicks into gear on Saturday with the much-loved Top 10 Shootout. Follow all the latest updates and highlights from Mount Panorama here!

The ten fastest drivers from qualifying on Friday will fly around the iconic track in a single lap thriller starting after 5pm (AEDT). Shell Ford driver Scott McLaughlin leads the pack in pole after topping qualifying having set a record-breaking time of 2:04.1470s in the Practice 5 session.

"Practice was in better conditions so it was a little quicker so it was good to go close to that pace again in qualifying," McLaughlin said.

"And the shootout is one of the best sessions of the year - we are going to have a go."

Jamie Whincup is the surprise omission from the Top 10 Shootout. Whincup finished 12th-fastest in qualifying but got moved into 11th after James Moffat copped a red flag toward the end of the session.

12.30pm - RECAP - The final one-hour practice session today was called off with two minutes left after Taz Douglas' encounter with the wall at Hell Corner. Holden's David Reynolds was fastest as the shortened session robbed other drivers of practice. "It's probably going to be raining tomorrow so everything changes; this could be three days all for nothing," Reynolds said after the race.

11.30am - David Reynolds was on song in the last practice session on Saturday morning. Reynolds set the fastest time with 2:04.9948s as he did a Shootout simulation. Reynolds finished second in qualifying on Friday, and will now be one of favourites to take out the Top 10 Shootout later this afternoon. James Courtney had the second-fastest time just 0.0443s slower than Reynolds, and ahead of series champion Shane van Gisbergen with 2:05.19s.

“For me to go a lot quicker we need that new tyre grip and new tyre feel in the rear, I just didn’t have it then," Reynolds said after the race.

“Overall it’s pretty good, then I did a race run and the balance was OK. I think we’ve got to tune it up for tomorrow, but it’s probably going to be wet anyway.”

11.20am - Practice 6 results!

11.24am - Great recovery from Freightliner Racing Commodore's Tim Slade considering where he was after the first practice in that nasty crash into the wall at the top of Mount Panorama.

11.15am - Red flag - In the sand on Hell Corner is Taz Douglas from Lucas Dumbrell Motorsport Holden. With the red flag, that'll end the final practice session at Bathurst. The Shootout to come in six hours!

11.03am - Not long left in Practice 6 session. Here's how they're tracking.
